LED Ticker is a tool for programming LED ticker bars using a RS232 serial connection under GNU/Linux. Should work without major changes on almost all other Unices, too.

LED Ticker has been created for the Lunartec LED Lauflichtleiste 7x50 sold by the German hardware/software/etc. supplier PEARL Agency in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France.

As the PEARL own brand Lunartec seems to be OEM-reselling this product, it is very likely this program will work for other devices, too. Please report any success with other devices to: cru [at] zodia [dot] de

If you are a manufacturer/supplier of a compatible or similar device and want your device being listed here resp. LED Ticker to support for your device, please contact me via the EMail address shown above.
